Someone Else's Star [occasional update]

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Continueation of last chapter...

Meredith has finally calmed down, she's in their bed curled up against Andrew's chest as Camille was in her room, giving her parents some privacy as she, herself needs a moment to let the news sink in.

"Are you okay?" Andrew asked once more,too worried about his wife

"Better" was  the only answers he got as she hiccuped again for all the crying that causes her to dihydrate

"You want me to call anyone? Alex maybe? you sisters?" he offered, thinking that talking someone she's closer with might somehow calmed her down

"No, just want you" she answered shortly, sniffing softly as she again clench onto the hem of his shirt

"Okay" he answered, not wanting to let go either.

Moments of silence again once filled the room as Andrew slightly jolted awake when he heard a soft knock on the door.

"Come in" Camille slightly opened the door and peek through it

"Hey, sweetie.." Andrew tried to force a smile, looking at her daughter

"How's mom?" she asked looking at her mother's sleeping figure

"She needs rest... you need something?" he then asked, slightly caressing Meredith's arm

"There was a police officer downstairs earlier,they wanted to ask mom a few questions but I told them to go back since mom isn't feeling well..."

"Oh..,thank you sweetie" he tried to form a smile, trying to cover up how worried he is about Meredith

"Dad..." Camille softly called out, walking further inside the room closing the door behind her

"Hmm?" he hummed, stroking Meredith's hair

"Are you okay?" Camille asked, starting to worry about her dad as well

"I will be..." he forced a smile to his daughter, feeling Meredith slightly stir in her sleep, curling up more onto Andrew's neck making Camille smile

"I'll cook lunch... you should get some rest too" Camille said before she disappeared outside of their room.

•••

It's almost 7 pm when Meredith got out their room since she was curled up against Andrew this morning,she didn't even had lunch because Andrew didn't want to wake her up already knowing what she'd  say 'I'm not hungry'

"Hey, dinner's almost ready!" Andrew smiled up at Meredith as she sat on the dining table

"That smells amazing" she said, trying to force a smile

"How are you feeling? still nausea or headache?" He then asked carefully not wanting to push her to talk about it as he patiently and slowly stir the pasta's sauce.

"Just a slight headache but not nausea" she answered softly, laying her head on her arm that's laying on the table letting out a sighs

"Camille save a left over for you,she cooked lunch and it was amazing you should taste it" he said with a glee, thinking it might somehow cheer her up

"Really... what did she make?" Meredith asked, suddenly exited hearing her daughter cooked

"It's a carbonara... but in Italian traditional styel" Andrew answered, "that was the first dish she's ever leaned to cook herself, just by watching me" he added with a slight chuckle
